India seems to dream of having complete control over the International Cricket Council (ICC), as Jay Shah, the Secretary of the BCCI, has begun to aspire to become the Chairman of the ICC, while the current chairman of the ICC, Greg Barclay, will complete his second term in November.

The important meetings of the Asian Cricket Council have started in Bali on Tuesday, with crucial decisions expected on Wednesday. Although the agenda does not include the election of a new president, but reports have emerged that Jay Shah now aspire to become the President of the ICC. Therefore, they may leave the responsibility of the ACC.

The term of the President of the Asian Council is two years, and under the rotation policy, each board is given the opportunity to head. Jay Shah is in the second year of his tenure. Therefore, if he really wants to become the Chairman of the ICC, then he will have to announce his decision to leave the responsibility of the ACC on Wednesday, and then the process of appointing a new president will begin.

In managing the role of ICC Chairman, he will also have to leave the BCCI, as under the rules, the head of the global governing body cannot hold a position in their national board. At present, ICC Chairman Greg Barclay is completing his second term in November.

Several other important issues will also be discussed at the meetings of the ACC in Bali, in which all member boards are participating. Pakistan's representation is being handled by acting Chairman PCB Shah Khawar and COO Salman Naseer.

The most important issue is the sale of broadcasting rights. This body's top event is the Asia Cup, which is most important due to Pakistan-India matches. Broadcasters will benefit greatly from this, as broadcasting sports has changed in India, so predicting the outcomes is not easy.

Yesterday, all top broadcasters were invited to dinner by the ACC. Viacom 18 is also rapidly expanding in sports broadcasting. It will be a major contender for the purchase of the rights of the Asia Cup. The ACC also has to decide the host of the next Asia Cup, which will be played in 2025.

The ICC T20 World Cup 2026 will be held in India and Sri Lanka. For the preparation of this, the Asia Cup will be played in the format of 20 overs this time. There are also many contenders to host this tournament. Among them, UAE and Oman are also included. However, under the ACC membership agreement, only full members can host this tournament. Although in the past, Asia Cup has been held twice in the UAE, at that time the actual hosts were India and Sri Lanka.

The last event was played in Pakistan and Sri Lanka under the hybrid model.
